I believe creating space for ourselves to heal from trauma is a political act of resistance. I’m passionate about offering therapeutic support within the LGBTQIA community, and particularly the BIPOC community. Dominant culture invisibilizes the historical trauma shaping many of our lives and pathologizes human pain and suffering. As a result, we can feel feel defective for struggling with depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship issues. Instead of being resources for one another, we find ourselves caught in cycles of trauma-responses that disconnect us from one another and disempower us collectively. 

 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Our lives, our families, our communities, and the planet need us awake and empowered. We can and must reclaim our power as individuals to end generational cycles of addition, trauma, and violence. The wisdom and resilience of our ancestors is in our DNA.
